 Mobiles banned in French schools

【明報專訊】In France, students are banned from using mobile phones in schools starting from September 2018. The new law also covers tablets and smartwatches. It affects pupils in primary and junior schools until they are around 15 years old.

Nearly 90% of French 12 to 17-year-olds had a mobile phone in 2016. The French government believes the new law could help stop pupils from being distracted by phones in class. It is also hoped the new law will help tackle online bullying. Jean-Michel Blanquer, the French Education Minister, said that the law would improve discipline among France's 12 million pupils.

However, critics dismissed the rule, saying that it would be difficult to enforce. The government is leaving schools to decide how to implement the new rule. It is recommended that students' phones are stored in lockers during the day, but not all schools have lockers.
